But “Red Lips” treats of them in an entirely new way and depicts the glamorous as well as the intimate side of the life of a collegian. Rogers is one of the most promising stars on the screen and Miss Nixon who has just been elevated to stardom. is equally fortunate. They botli give excellent. portrayals, Rogers as the unsophisticated, but hard-working college student and Miss Nixon as the feminine epitome of modern, speed-mad youth. Haydden Stevenson of "Collegians” fame is also starred. Two comedies, and the British and International News will he shown in addition. A great programme will be presented on Saturday, when two of the screen’s leading and most popular stars will he seen on the one bill — George O'Brien in “True Heaven,” and Milton Sills in “The Barker.” Both artists can be always relied upon to give something right out of the ordinary.
